To begin, make certain you have the basic ingredients necessary in your cupboard. If you do not have these things, they are quite easy to find at the supermarket, and other than the salmon, are quite inexpensive. Here is what is needed for your smoked salmon dip recipe:

– 8 ounces of sour cream, whichever brand or flavor you like.
-16 oz of cream cheese
– 8 ounces of smoked salmon. You can find this in the same area as tuna at your local grocery store
– A splash of lemon juice and a dash of Worcestershire sauce
– A pinch of sliced green onion and the same amount of onion powder

These are the basic food ingredients that you will need for your smoked salmon dip. As for preparation all you are going to need is a microwavable safe bowl and a mixing spoon.

Begin by softening the cream cheese to ensure it is easier to combine with the sour cream and the other ingredients. You merely have to leave it out on the counter for an hour.  If you don’t have the time just toss it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Once it is softened, add the smoked salmon and the sour cream. Already you are well on your way to having a delicious smoked salmon dip.

Stir in the rest of the ingredients, you can even add some chopped almonds or nuts if you are feeling extra adventurous. Make sure that you add the lemon juice last as you want everything else to be mixed in before. Sample the smoked salmon dip to see if needs some extra lemon or other seasonings.

Once its all mixed together, store in the refrigerator for at least an hour to mix the flavors. If time permits  leave it overnight so that the flavor can be absorbed fully.

And there you have it. You have made your very own smoked salmon dip. Serve it with your choice of crackers. Enjoy it on your own or share it with friends. But most of all, enjoy your smoked salmon dip.
